Front edge in double yarn

Keywords: kant,

To make the front edge nice thick and firm on e.g. a knitted cardigan you can use 2 threads of the yarn when working the first two sts towards the edge. After the 2 sts let go of one of the threads, and then pick it up again on the way back.

The video above can be used in the following patterns

When doing front edge double yarn, how should you cast on ? So that you have the 2 double stitches at the beginning of the row? Or do you just do regular cast on and then add the double stitches with the next row?

Dear Mrs Seitz, you can cast on with 2 strands the number of stitches you will then work with double yarn, so that you are sure these stitches won't be too tight. Happy knitting!

I have a question about the increase in the front pieces. wool warehouse has not answered so I hope someone else will. The pattern says 'increase 1st for lapel towards mid front' Is that before the 2 edge stitches or are we increasing the edge for the lapel?

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Ev, the increases will be worked inside the 2 edge sts - pattern has been edited, thanks for your feedback. Happy knitting!

Der skal strikkes to masker dobbelt i begge sider med dobbelt garn. Skal jeg så strikke med 6 nøgler kørende samtidig?

DROPS Design answered:

Hej Hanne, Nej den ene tråd i den ene side er den du strikker frem og tilbage med, den ekstra tråd skal du have et mindre ekstra nøgle af i hver side. God fornøjelse!

Gäller dette för nederkant på plagg där man börjar med sletstickning eller finns det ett annat sett att få en stadig kant vid slätstickning
